48" High Reach Tree Limb Hand Rope Chain Saw by Homyall

paul hangle: This handsaw works well on green wood, but it has a difficult time biting into dead trees. Once it finds a purchase point on green trees, it slices through very quickly.

Ivan J.: Producto de calidad, sirve para cortar ramas pequeñas y para podar en lugares poco accesibles.

Amazon Customer: After much effort, I got the chain onto the limb and the cutting was going very well until one of the carabiners broke! You can image how difficult it is to recover from this situation since you now only have one rope attached and you can't pull the chain through the cut since the broken carabiner is stopping it!!! After many hours of effort from a ladder using a hook on a long pole, I managed to work it free and will start over tomorrow WITHOUT THE CRAPPY CARABINERS!!!!

Gerardo CHGerardo CH: Se siente de material resistente y se ve de muy buen tamaño.
Me hubiera gustado que ya incluyera los aros tipo D para amarrar las cuerdas a las cadenas

Client d'Amazon: It cuts great but when you get to the end of the branch and it starts to fall and your not finished cutting it, the saw gets squeezed between the falling branch and the opposite side at the bottom of the unfinish cut. Thats what happen to me , then i had to pull on the large branch to get it loose . lucky for me i was able to pull the unfinish cut branch which had fallen and wasn't to high for my reach.

Double G: I read the reviews. One said that you'll end up throwing the bag over and over. I had a 6" branch 20 feet up in the air. I threw the pouch with the one end wrapped in it. Over and over. Got stuck. Wife was up in the tree trying to get it free. I ended up taking a baseball and putting it in the pouch and chucking it over the branch. It worked for the most part but when it caught in an area I didn't want and was stuck the grommets ripped out - the pouch went one way and the rope snapped back to me. I took four 3/8" thick carabiners (three clipped into one) and threw it. WHEN it got stuck I gave a good yank and it was free. Just be sure to tie a solid not on both ends of the chain. I didn't and when the chain got stuck the knot slipped off.
How does it cut? Amazing! It goes very quick and my neighbor commented that it looked like I was doing a hard-core upper body workout. You can only cut from top down so if you are at a spot where the log will bind a chainsaw, it will bind this. You better be pretty strong or have other means to break through. I eventually broke through using brute force and other means but my hands are blistered and bruised from yanking and tugging. But when...

Spruce Lake: I bought this to take down some dead branches I can't reach with my pole saw. It worked good on smaller branches, but on a 3" white pine it got stuck about halfway through. It took a lot of maneuvering to get it out. May work better with 2 people, but that was not an option for me.

LLL: easy setup with 1/8 inch nylon parador, blades sharp, blades on both sides so as long as your feed the chain to the branch with no kinks, you can start cutting immediately, good strong construction and material, there is a learning curve using it though, first branch I cut 30 feet up I cut the branch to far from the trunk, blade got pinched between the 5 inch branch & trunk when the weight of the branch started to break free, after 2 days and a lot of pulling using a 2nd rope secured to branch,the branch broke free and fell to the ground along with the saw rope, lesson one place the chain as close to the meeting point of the branch & trunk as possible but not in the fork that also will cause binding & frustration. lesson 2, using 2 people one on each end and a longer piece of cord you increase the angle of the cutting surface thus decreasing the likely hood of binding. To date I have trimmed off 3 branches, 30ft, 24ft & 20ft high all three 4 to 5 Inches in diameter, If you have patience this is a wonderful cost saving tool, you'll experience the need for patience first when try to throw the throw line over the branch you are trying to cut a lot of that depends on...

Jim Downing: This tool is very handy for someone with experience pruning trees with a chainsaw, pruning saw, or bowsaw. It may be frustrating to use if one is unfamiliar with the proper techniques of pruning a tree limb.

The recommended approach is to go out 12 to 18 inches from the trunk of the tree and make an undercut of about 1 inch on the bottom of the limb. Remove the saw and make a complete cut from the top of the limb 3 to 4 inches further out on the limb so the limb falls to the ground. With the weight now off the remaining part of the limb, cut the stub limb top to bottom just outside the branch "collar" but not cutting into the trunk wood.

With the rope limb saw it's probably not possible to make the undercut. Here are my suggestions how to use the Homyall rope limb saw. Buy some parachute cord and 2 lengths of 3/8 inch nylon braided rope--I think mine are 75 feet each. Attach an eye bolt to a tennis ball and then attach one end of the parachute cord to the tennis ball and the other end to one of the ropes. Secure one end of each rope to the saw blade. The black nylon bag that comes with the chain can be used as a throwing bag but I find a tennis ball with our dog's...
